NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.
NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.
There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.
My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.
I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.
I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.
The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.
I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’
needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.
I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.
I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.
I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.
This excellent book of needlepoint stitches is mentioned in the September/October issue of Needlepoint Now. I have just received my order of new copies of this book, so I am all set to sell & ship this book with no delay.

The first edition, published in 1982 had less than 100 stitches. They ... More Info
The Thread, Canvas & Needlepoint Handbook by Master Teacher Susan Sturgeon Roberts has been out of print for some time now. This is an interesting and helpful book and I was sorry it was no longer available.
I contacted the author (Susan) to ask if there was any chance this book (and her excellent Tip & Techniques for Needlepoint) might be available again and she had some copies of each in stock.
This is a very handy and informative book with all those little things you wish you knew. ... More Info
Tapisserie is another gorgeous book by Hayat Palumbo. I had never heard of it or even heard it mentioned of referred to when her other book, A Passion for Needlepoint, is spoken of.
I had been selling it used and it was very hard-to-find. Now I have discovered that it has been re-printed and available as a new book.
I am thrilled.
This is not a book of patterns you can follow, with charts and directions. What it is is gorgeous needlepoint & tapestry work. Ideas and ... More Info
This is the interesting & much talked about Sharon G book
In the introduction Sharon says that this is the first in a series of books she plans to write.
The SENSE collection book is divided into 3 sections
1) stitches with very low texture and minimal pattern
2)stitches with medium texture and no diagonal flow
3) stitches with a well-defined diagonal flow.
She goes on to say that the wrong stitch selection can ruin the outcome of your canvas (I know that is true). The biggest ... More Info
